AVENUE Q
Imagine a Tony® Award-winning musical that’s hip, savvy, uproariously funny and where the cast consists of puppets (yes, puppets). AVENUE is the story of the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account.

Did you know…
• 
The show is largely inspired by (and is in the style of) Sesame Street: Most of the characters in the show are puppets (operated by actors onstage), the set depicts several tenements on a rundown street in an Outer Borough of New York City, both the live characters and puppet characters sing, and short animated video clips are played as part of the story.
• AVENUE Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is AVENUE Q; still, the neighbors seem nice.
• AVENUE Q opened off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre in March 2003, where it gained rave reviews and was extended four times!
• On September 30, 2004, the day of the first Bush-Kerry presidential debate, on a stage set up in Times Square, the cast of AVENUE Q presented their version of the debate, called AVENUE Q&A, with portrait puppets of Bush and Kerry created by Rick Lyon. Eighteen television networks covered the event. Lyon operated the Bush puppet, while Jennifer Barnhart operated the Kerry puppet. Each puppet sang responses to questions from AVENUE Q’s concerned residents, and then the whole cast sang to the rain-drenched crowds to Vote your heart!
